I waited for this?
-------------------------------------------
-If the stages were any shorter you might as well just join them together to give the impression thats it's an enduance race. This will never fly as a suitable simulation for league play. It's just a demo so with that said, here goes.

9.8m/s^2 is how fast a rock will fall. The demo falls like it was on Jupitor OK! at 25.9m/s^2. Feels unrealistic, like I was glued to the ground.

Deadzone was 25% of full throw. Thats with all settings for dead zone at ZERO! Might as well be steering with rubber rope.

It's graphics are intense and the sounds are very good but the game lacks depth. I give the demo at stink factor of 5.5

Paco stink factor scale.
1- awesome
2- very good
3- good
4- not so good
5- delete
6- was warned a head of time SBD.

I decided to give up PC's and take up a new hobby. Throwing rocks.

-----------------------------------------
This is just my opion but on a side note, Rally Championship 2000 an older game, that I couldn't run back then, 3 years ago, because of high graphic requirements sure runs like a champ now I tell ya. With 360 miles of track, yup 360 MILES!! and a physics editor, to tweak the game to your standards, that can be downloaded, has brought new life into this old game. Just a thought but, codemasters should concider picking up the rights to this old game and fix it because, there are just a few problems with it. The player is unable to setup the car during online play, this is a must and it suffers from an error called a "Guru mediation error" which occurs not frequently (Thank god). Other than that it rocks. Now that video cards are more powerful, this game really shines. For those looking for the "REAL as it gets PC style" rally experience, check out Rally Championship 2000. Sorry Codemasters but your version of the rally experince is "the wrong execution of the right idea." in my opion. Colin McRae are you reading this?

is it me, or gravity in mars is lower than gravity on earth? isn't mars a bit smaller than earth?

Paco454 · 29-05-2003, 04:26 PM

Mars is bigger.

i just checked it:

Mars and Earth have diameters of 6775 and 12775 km respectively. The mass of Mars is 0.107 times that of Earth. If a body weighs 200N on Earth, what would it weigh on Mars? Also, what is the mass of the body and the gravitational acceleration on Mars?
Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet varies directly as the mass and inversely as the square of the radius. This folllows directly from Newton's law of universal gravitation. This makes the gravitational acceleration on Mars
gm=9.8*0.107*(12775/6775)2 = 3.73m/s^2 (...)
